Bristol City prepare to entertain Walsall at Ashton Gate on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, winning 51.72% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in February 2005, with Walsall inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Robins in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Bristol City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Robins have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Walsall's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Saddlers have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Bristol City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 25 matches. Walsall's 34 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Bristol City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Robins will at least gain a draw. Score draw

| Bristol City | 10 games since last home draw. Unbeaten run of 5 matches. |
